This evening 7 GoodGym Coventry runners (+ Robin) made their way to the Foleshill Community Centre to support Feeding Coventry to get ready for their launch on Friday!

Laura and Katherine set off on their run from the city centre , and by the time they arrived, the other GoodGymmers had already got stuck in (literally) to the task of covering the shelves ready to store stock for the social supermarket. Meanwhile, Amy and Anika were arranging the stock on the shelves painted by GoodGym runners in the room painted by GoodGym runners...! See photos for the fantastic results!

Being mindful of the yoga class taking place next door, we quietly attempted to put the shelves back in place and quickly realised it was too squeaky and noisy, so moved on to the next task of cleaning storage cabinets ready for use. We then posed for some photos with the beautifully arranged tins of beans, bags of pasta and boxes of tea and room decorations and wished Helen and her team the best of luck for the launch on Friday!

It has been fantastic to see the transformation of the the social supermarket. The contributions from GoodGym runners through painting, cleaning, sorting, laying carpet, moving items and many other tasks, as well as supporting FareShare to collect donations in Tesco before Xmas is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations to Lil on her 50th task - looking forward to celebrating at our first birthday party next week!
